I love the Game I have played all the AC series and I will admit like Scotch its an acquired taste but its challenging the graphics are great for what they are the intro Was Fantastic and it seems to have a great online following. I think it would be nice if you could Damage specific body parts and say Blow someones arm off or render there boosters inactive.

This game is pretty sick, and really hard. I've been a long time fan of the series and this game finally revitalized my love for mech fighting games. It's high speed and sick graphics make this game much better than the other ones, but the only problem i have is that is has a very steep learing curve that makes it very hard just to pick up and play.

I had much fun with this game, but the length is too short. I beat the story along w/ the data packs(arena battles) within 5 hours. The single player was probably the best part of the game(though some may to differ). The multiplayer had much potential but fell short.

Excellent game despite what most critics say. Single player is on the short side but you can play through it again on hard with extended objectives. Multiplayer is also a blast. If you are into mech games you are in for a treat!

The game is much better than the previous one . you are allowed to use your boost for a great amount of time. the addition of the quick boost is insane adding much movement to your AC. I was always a fan of armored core and now i'm a bigger one

The controls are great once you get them customized properly*fire buttons on L1 and R1), with nimble movement and crazy bursts of speed seldom seen outside of anime, but this dexterity is wasted on short missions, bare-bones multiplayer, and the same ol' gameplay AC has been recycling for years.

AC4 feels like a house that's been added onto so often that it's a maze of twisting passages, oddly shaped rooms, and doors that go nowhere. There may be something worthwhile hidden within, but it's not worth the effort to find it. Time to tear it all down and start over.
